We take a break from regular programming this week to bring you Ali Smith's recent New Statesman/Goldsmiths Prize lecture on "why the novel matters in the age of Brexit and Trump". You can read an edited version of the lecture in this week's magazine - get your copy now. Tom and Kate will be back with a regular episode next week.
Get in touch on Twitter via @ns_podcasts or @tom_gatti.
